CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims priority under 35 USC 119 from Japanese PatentApplication No. 2018-087671, filed on Apr. 27, 2018, the disclosure ofwhich is incorporated by reference herein.

BACKGROUND Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to an electronic device and a wiringboard.

Related Art

The following technology is known as technology related tocountermeasures to noise for an electronic device including asemiconductor device with a packaged semiconductor chip and a wiringboard that the semiconductor device is mounted on.

For example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open (JP-A) No.H9-326451 a multilayer printed wiring board for mounting an LSIincluding plural power supply pins and plural signal pins is disclosed.The multilayer printed wiring board is configured such that some or allof the plural power supply pins are connected to a power supply patternvia an inductance pattern.

In a semiconductor device with a packaged semiconductor chip, sometimesthere are plural power supply terminals each applied with a voltage atthe same potential to each other in order to make a power supply morerobust. A semiconductor device including plural power supply terminalsmay include a conduction path extending from one out of the plural powersupply terminals to another of the plural power supply terminals via onelead-wire, a chip internal wiring line formed inside a semiconductorchip, and another lead-wire. A wiring board mounted with a semiconductordevice including such a conduction path may include a board wiring lineformed on the wiring board for connecting the plural power supplyterminals to each other. In order to improve the tolerance to incidentexternal noise, a ground pattern is sometimes provided on the wiringboard so as to cover a mounting region at which the semiconductor deviceis mounted. In a case in which such a ground pattern is provided to themounting region for mounting the semiconductor device, the board wiringline that connects the plural power supply terminals to each other isarranged so as to bypass the mounting region for mounting thesemiconductor device. In such cases, a conduction loop may be formed bythe conduction path formed inside the semiconductor device, and theboard wiring line connecting the plural power supply terminals to eachother, and this might lower the tolerance to incident externalelectromagnetic noise. For example, a power supply voltage fluctuatesdue to electromagnetic inductance in a case in which there is a changein a magnetic flux passing through the inside of the conduction loop.This may lead to unstable circuit operation or to circuit elements beingdamaged.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Explanation follows regarding exemplary embodiments of technologydisclosed herein, with reference to the drawings. Note that the samereference numerals are appended in each of the drawings to the same orequivalent configuration elements and parts.

First Exemplary Embodiment

FIG. 1A is a plan view illustrating an example of a schematicconfiguration of an electronic device 1 according to a first exemplaryembodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 1B is a cross-section takenalong line 1B-1B in FIG. 1A. The electronic device 1 is configuredincluding a wiring board 10, and a semiconductor device 20 mounted onthe wiring board 10.

FIG. 2 is a plan view illustrating an example of an internal structureof the semiconductor device 20. The semiconductor device 20 isconfigured including a semiconductor chip 21 formed with an integratedcircuit, plural terminals 23 connected to the semiconductor chip 21 vialead-wires 22, and a sealing member 24 to seal the semiconductor chip21. The external profile of the semiconductor device 20 in the presentexemplary embodiment is substantially rectangular when viewed in planview. The semiconductor device 20 may, for example, have a packagedstate of a quad flat package (QFP).

In the present exemplary embodiment the plural terminals 23 include twopower supply terminals 23Pa and 23Pb each applied with a power supplyvoltage VDD with the same potential to each other. The power supplyterminal 23Pa is arranged at the vicinity of a corner 25A of thesemiconductor device 20, and is connected to the semiconductor chip 21via a lead-wire 22. The power supply terminal 23Pb is arranged at thevicinity of a corner 25B diagonally opposite the corner 25A on thesemiconductor device 20, and is connected via a lead-wire 22 to adifferent semiconductor chip location to the location at which the powersupply terminal 23Pa is connected. Due to the semiconductor device 20including the plural power supply terminals 23Pa and 23Pb, the in-planeuniformity of the power supply voltage of the semiconductor chip 21 maybe raised.

The semiconductor device 20 includes a conduction path 26 extending tothe power supply terminal 23Pb via the power supply terminal 23Pa, oneof the lead-wires 22, a chip internal wiring line (not illustrated inthe drawings) formed inside the semiconductor chip 21, and another ofthe lead-wires 22. Note that the portion of the conduction path 26passing through the inside of the semiconductor chip 21 need notnecessarily always have a straight line shape as illustrated in theexample in FIG. 2, and may be bent.

FIG. 3 is a plan view illustrating an example of a wiring pattern formedon the wiring board 10. The wiring board 10 includes plural lands 11serving as connection portions at which the plural terminals 23 of thesemiconductor device 20 are connected. The plural lands 11 include aland 11Pa that the power supply terminal 23Pa is connected to, and aland 11Pb that the power supply terminal 23Pb is connected to. Thewiring board 10 includes a board wiring line 12 that passes over theland 11Pa, inside a mounting region 30, and over the land 11Pb. Thelands 11Pa and 11Pb are thereby connected to each other by the boardwiring line 12, enabling the power supply voltage VDD of the samepotential to be respectively supplied to the power supply terminals 23Paand 23Pb of the semiconductor device 20.

FIG. 4A is a plan view illustrating an internal structure of thesemiconductor device 20, with the conduction path 26 formed in thesemiconductor device 20 illustrated in combination with the board wiringline 12 formed on the wiring board 10. FIG. 4B is a plan viewillustrating the conduction path 26 and the board wiring line 12extracted from the elements illustrated in FIG. 4A. In the electronicdevice 1 according to the present exemplary embodiment, the conductionpath 26 formed in the semiconductor device 20 is electrically connectedto the board wiring line 12 formed on the wiring board 10, and aconduction loop 40 is configured thereby. There is a concern that theconduction loop 40 might act as a loop antenna, with magnetic fluxpassing through the inside of the conduction loop 40 changing due toincident external electromagnetic noise. The potential of the conductionpath 26 and the board wiring line 12 (namely, the potential of the powersupply voltage VDD) would then fluctuate due to electromagneticinductance. The surface area of the inside region of the conduction loop40 (the region indicated by hatching in FIG. 4B) is accordinglypreferably as small as possible in order to suppress such fluctuationsin potential.

FIG. 5A is a plan view illustrating an example of a configuration of anelectronic device 1X according to a comparative example. The internalstructure of the semiconductor device 20 is illustrated in FIG. 5A, withthe conduction path 26 formed in the semiconductor device 20 illustratedin combination with a board wiring line 12X formed on the wiring board10. FIG. 5B is a plan view illustrating the conduction path 26 and theboard wiring line 12X extracted from the elements illustrated in FIG.5A. In the electronic device 1X according to the comparative example,the routing of the board wiring line 12X differs from that of the boardwiring line 12 according to the exemplary embodiment of the presentdisclosure. Namely, the board wiring line 12X according to thecomparative example extends from the land 11Pa at which the power supplyterminal 23Pa is connected, via the outside of the mounting region 30,to the land 11Pb at which the power supply terminal 23Pb is connected.

In the electronic device 1X according to the comparative example, aportion of the board wiring line 12X from the land 11Pa to the land 11Pbpasses around the outside of the mounting region 30 for thesemiconductor device 20. This means that the surface area of the insideregion of a conduction loop 40X configured by the conduction path 26formed in the semiconductor device 20 and the board wiring line 12X (theregion illustrated by hatching in FIG. 5B) is larger than that of theconduction loop 40 according to the exemplary embodiment of the presentdisclosure.

However, in the electronic device 1 according to the exemplaryembodiment of the present disclosure, a portion of the board wiring line12 from the land 11Pa to the land 11Pb passes through the inside of themounting region 30 for the semiconductor device 20. This thereby enablesthe surface area of the inside region of a conduction loop 40 to besmaller than that of the conduction loop 40X according to thecomparative example. The electronic device 1 according to the exemplaryembodiment of the present disclosure accordingly enables the toleranceto incident external electromagnetic noise to be improved in comparisonto that of the electronic device 1X according to the comparativeexample. Note that the surface area of the inside region of theconduction loop 40 is preferably not more than half (50%) of the surfacearea of the mounting region 30 for the semiconductor device 20.

Furthermore, in the electronic device 1 according to the exemplaryembodiment of the present disclosure, a portion of the board wiring line12 passing through inside the mounting region 30 is covered by thelead-wires 22 and the terminals 23 of the semiconductor device 20. Thelead-wires 22 and the terminals 23 function as a shield toelectromagnetic noise. This may further improve the tolerance toelectromagnetic noise, due to the portion of the board wiring line 12passing through the inside of the mounting region 30 being covered bythe lead-wires 22 and the terminals 23.

Moreover, since the electronic device 1 according to the exemplaryembodiment of the present disclosure reduces the effect ofelectromagnetic noise, the tolerance to electromagnetic noise may beimproved without mounting electromagnetic noise countermeasurecomponents such as capacitors. Accordingly, the fabrication cost may besuppressed in comparison to electronic devices mounted withelectromagnetic noise countermeasure components.

In the electronic device 1A according to the second exemplary embodimentof the present disclosure, the routing of the board wiring line 12Adiffers from that of the board wiring line 12 according to the firstexemplary embodiment. The board wiring line 12A according to the secondexemplary embodiment extends from a land 11Pa at which a power supplyterminal 23Pa is connected, via the inside of the mounting region 30 forthe semiconductor device 20, to a land 11Pb at which a power supplyterminal 23Pb is connected. The portion of the board wiring line 12Apassing through the inside of the mounting region 30 is arranged alongthe conduction path 26 formed in the semiconductor device 20. Morespecifically, a portion of the board wiring line 12A passing through theinside of the mounting region 30 is arranged directly below theconduction path 26 so as to be in superposition with the conduction path26.

The electronic device 1A according to the second exemplary embodiment ofthe present disclosure may enable the surface area of the inside regionof the conduction loop 40 configured by the conduction path 26 formed inthe semiconductor device 20 and the board wiring line 12A formed on thewiring board 10, to be essentially zero. Accordingly, the magnetic fluxpassing through the inside of the conduction loop 40 may be madeessentially zero, and may further improve tolerance to electromagneticnoise.

Most of the mounting region 30 on the first face S1 of the wiring board10 is covered by the conductor patterns 14 a and 14 b applied with theground potential. The conductor patterns 14 a and 14 b applied with theground potential function as a shield to electromagnetic noise. This mayfurther improve the tolerance to electromagnetic noise due to most ofthe mounting region 30 on the first face S1 of the wiring board 10 beingcovered by the conductor patterns 14 a and 14 b. There might be aconcern here that the shielding effect would be diminished due to thegap 15 isolating the conductor pattern 14 a from the conductor pattern14 b being arranged inside the mounting region 30. However, providingthe conductor pattern 16 at positions on the second face S2 of thewiring board 10 in superposition with the gap 15 may suppress anydiminishing of the shielding effect, due to the gap 15 being arrangedinside the mounting region 30.
